Bloodline Rising 4

Verse

Iron gates behind the townhouse walls

Bass drops through the floor like thunder in the halls

Pounding fists against the kitchen sink

Blood rushing fast where the kick drum thinks

Ten years old and I was already lost

Chasing shadows that never close a door

Momma's voice just a memory of warmth

Now it's just this dark and me, myself, alone

Pre-Chorus

Something breaking in my chest tonight

Every heartbeat asking what's right

Steel on steel against the concrete ground

This is where I finally stop running down

Chorus

I'm not scared no more, no more

Rising up through every scar I've known

Bloodline rising from beneath the floor

I won't hold it back, this ain't holding me down no more

Verse 2

Packed my backpack full of nothing but my pride

Left the shame at the bottom of the driveway

Every scream I ever swallowed coming up like flood

This is where I tell the devil good riddance, you're through with blood

Hands to the sky like a war cry in the rain

I'm not running now — I'm calling out your name

Steel bars turning silver underneath my skin

This ain't weakness, this is me beginning again

Pre-Chorus

Something breaking in my chest tonight

Every heartbeat asking what's right

Steel on steel against the concrete ground

This is where I finally stop running down

Chorus

I'm not scared no more, no more

Rising up through every scar I've known

Bloodline rising from beneath the floor

I won't hold it back, this ain't holding me down no more

Bridge

Maybe I was never broken — maybe I was just waiting

Every wound's a gate and tonight it's opening wide

No more chains, no more shadows, only light on my face

This is how you take back what the devil took, this place

Chorus

I'm not scared no more, no more

Rising up through every scar I've known

Bloodline rising from beneath the floor

I won't hold it back, this ain't holding me down no more
